History

Overseas Chinese as the Mother of Revolution

The government has always attached great importance to overseas Chinese education since its relocation to Taiwan. In order to promote our rich 5,000-year-old culture overseas and meet the needs of overseas compatriots' children to learn Chinese culture, the National Overseas Chinese Experimental High School was established in the autumn of 44th year of the Republic of China (1955) on the former site of the Taipei County Park. The school covers an area of 14.67 hectares, located in the prime area of Banqiao, surrounded by clear streams, lush vegetation, and a spacious and tranquil environment, making it an excellent educational institution. On October 21 of the same year, the school building was completed, and the opening ceremony for the first semester of the 44th academic year was held simultaneously. This date was subsequently designated as the "School Anniversary" to symbolize the spiritual connection between the school and overseas compatriots worldwide.

The Ministry of Education conducted experiments in teaching German and French, and established a high school experimental class.

At the beginning of its founding, the school had a junior high school division, a high school division, a regular teacher training program, and a pre-university preparatory class for overseas Chinese students. In the 51st year of the Republic of China, due to the dissatisfaction of mainland compatriots with the persecution by the Chinese Communist Party, there was a "May Exodus," leading the government to facilitate the education of mainland youths in Taiwan, thus allowing the school to admit students from mainland China.

In the autumn of the 52nd year of the Republic of China, the Ministry of Education conducted experiments in dividing natural sciences in junior high school and allowing high school students to choose to study German and French. It was ordered that from the 52nd year of the Republic of China, local high school students would be admitted to establish a high school experimental class. In the 56th year of the Republic of China, a "Preparatory Class for Overseas Chinese Students" was established for graduates of primary schools for the sons and daughters of overseas Chinese in Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos or students with equivalent qualifications. This class offered a curriculum equivalent to that of a senior elementary school to prepare them for junior high school.

There were three different systems in the school system: primary school, junior high school, and high school.

In the spring of the 60th year of the Republic of China, and again in the 67th year of the Republic of China, preparatory classes were established for students from countries such as Pakistan and Turkey to receive education in their homeland, specializing in one year of Chinese language courses. After completion, they were distributed to other schools for further studies.

In the 64th year of the Republic of China, temporary training classes were held for the sons and daughters of overseas Chinese refugees from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, lasting for three months. After completion, they were distributed to various schools according to their preferences. In the 67th academic year, the school acted as an agent for the Chinese Mainland Disaster Relief Association to provide a one-year Chinese language training program, after which students were distributed to various schools based on their proficiency. Therefore, the school had students at different levels in terms of the education system. In the 68th year of the Republic of China, the school was renamed the "National Overseas Chinese Experimental Senior High School."

Geographically, in addition to returning overseas Chinese students, there were also students from mainland China, students from other countries, and local students. In the 71st academic year, the school was ordered to conduct experiments in junior high school education and admit students from the Fuzhou area in Banqiao, the location of the school. This continued until the 81st year of the Republic of China when local junior high school students from the Fuzhou area were no longer admitted.

In the 85th year of the Republic of China, following the instructions of the Ministry of Education, the school conducted curriculum experiments for comprehensive high schools and added programs in information application and applied foreign languages. Therefore, the school not only brought together young people from all over the world but also had a diversified development.

Balancing education for overseas Chinese and regular high school education

In the 78th year of the Republic of China, the school established the "Chinese Language Teaching Center" to provide short-term language training for overseas Chinese students who were not proficient in Chinese, aiming to cultivate their listening, speaking, reading, and writing abilities and help them adapt to local habits. Due to changing times and social transformations, coupled with the rising cost of living and increased competition for higher education in Taiwan, the number of overseas Chinese students returning to Taiwan has been decreasing year by year. As of today, overseas Chinese students account for approximately 26% of the total school population, with a total of over four hundred students. Despite the declining numbers, the school continues to fulfill its mission of providing education for overseas Chinese students and regular high school education. The school's faculty and staff spare no effort in caring for all students with love, concern, and patience, with the aim of realizing the function of high school education and nurturing well-rounded, physically and mentally healthy young individuals. To adapt to changing trends, the "Chinese Language Teaching Center" was renamed the "Chinese Language and Culture Teaching Center" in the winter of the 101st year of the Republic of China, expanding the scope of its courses.

On February 1, 2015, the school was renamed the "National Overseas Chinese Senior High School."
